Careers Wales has been tasked by Welsh Government to establish an Education Business Exchange (EBE). The EBE is a database of employers who are want to support schools with a range of education business activities and events. The EBE will be available to trained individuals at schools to request engagement. Careers Wales will use the criteria input by schools to search for suitable employers and the contact with employers will be brokered by Careers Wales’ Business Engagement Advisers. Schools will not be given the employers contact details.
Careers Wales are seeking employers who would like to get involved with this scheme. Employers can offer as little or as much engagement as they wish and dictate their preferred geographical area. All schools in Wales will be using the EBE by March 2019 and Careers Wales are aiming to have 10,000 employers on the system before then.
If you have any queries or would like to sign up to the EBE, then please contact Adrian Cole at Careers Wales.
